Mia. Farrow stared at the movie screen intently in the opening and closing scenes, her surprised face occupies the entire screen.
Farrow plays a young woman who fell into poverty and an unfortunate marriage during the Great Depression. The cinema is her solace and refuge, allowing her to escape the distress and suffering of the ordinary world for a short time.
Her favorite black and white movies are full of fascinating adventure plots, endless martinis, and dinners on the beach, which are in sharp visual contrast with her dim and boring work and marriage.
She lost herself.
We usually think that the way she gets lost is to escape reality. However, her happy look on the screen and her radiant face showed that she was immersed in happiness.
When the explorer Tom. Baxter walked towards her from the screen, she did not feel particularly confused, because the world in the movie has long been more vivid to her than the real world.
